The condo was a great place to stay. The view of the beach was amazing, the condo was clean and the kitchen was well stocked for cooking meals. The restaurants next door and across the street were easily accessible and had great food and drinks.

There was silverfish and a cockroach in the unit. The pool was closed the entire time we were there so we were unable to lay out on lounge chairs. We laid on beach towels on the beach which was so uncomfortable. We finally rented chairs on the beach. I spent way to much time on the phone with the host and vrbo to ask for the unit to be sprayed and the chairs to be paid for. Still waiting to hear back if the owners are going to reimburse us for the chairs.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are very sorry to hear about the issues you experienced during your stay.
We sincerely apologize for the presence of pests in the unit and understand how unsettling that must have been. We also regret that the pool was closed for the duration of your visit, as we know how important that amenity is to the guest experience, especially when planning time to relax by the water.
We’re sorry as well for the inconvenience you experienced having to coordinate multiple calls regarding the situation and for the frustration surrounding the beach chair rental costs. We understand how this impacted your overall stay and time on vacation.
We appreciate your feedback and regret that your experience did not meet expectation

Hello Steven,
Thank you for your 5 star review. We apologize that the ac was an issue at first. But glad we could quickly get it back up for your stay!
My family had a great week staying here. When we first arrived we were missing sheets in 2 rooms. I let the office know and there were people there with sheets and towels in about 30 minutes. We did not have any issues while we were there. Everything was nice and clean. We had everything we needed to cook: air fryer, crockpot, toaster, waffle iron, coffee maker… it had everything!!! We look forward to coming back and will definitely be staying here again.
